The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 208

Chapter 208

“Ms. Yvonne, what have you been up to lately?”

Yvonne ached all over; her burns on her leg throbbed with every heartbeat, not to mention the bruises from being tossed out by Ulrich!

“I’m recovering. Didn’t you hear about the fire incident that occurred at the Gruber’s? What’s with the call at this hour?”

The thought of the Schnabels being so cruel to her, yet all smiles with Noella and Malvina, soured her mood with a mix of bitterness and envy.

Sure, they considered Noella their darling daughter and treated her well, but what about Malvina? She had seen Ulrich speaking to Malvina in hushed, gentle tones! Was it just because she was chummy with that country bumpkin?

The Schnabels never gave a damn about how she felt. If they had, she wouldn’t have had to slog over to the Gruber place..

“Ms. Yvonne, were you hurt? Is it bad? Without a bit of elbow grease, you’ll lose your spot in the Schnabel family for good!”

Yvonne’s anger flared. “When have I ever had a place in the Schnabel family? They’ve never cared about

me!”

Whether it was blood–related Noella or the unrelated Elara, they had the Schnabels‘ hearts. Their hearts might as well be floating out in the Pacific!

“Ms. Yvonne, go cry on the lady’s shoulder, she’ll surely take you back.”

Sienna?

Yvonne hesitated, torn. “Forget it. Mother doesn’t care about me. She only has eyes for that country

bumpkin!”

The nanny whispered, “Ms. Yvonne, I’m talking about your birth mother, not Sienna. Sienna is blind to your worth, but your real mother would never reject you.”

Duncan.had indeed never once mentioned her mother!

Yvonne’s spirits lifted. “Do you know my mom? Tell me who she is!”

“I’ll give you the lady’s number; you contact her. Just explain things to her, she’ll surely take pity on you.”
